Pros

There are so many great things about this platform that I have recommended it many times to people I know. First of course are the clients who are highly motivated people from all over the world. It is extremely interesting work for this reason, and since I love to learn about the world it satisfies my intellectual curiosity. The hours are my own choice. I have reservation times and many of my regulars take advantage of this. I see so much hope for the world in talking to people from everywhere. Cambly is supportive of the tutors and treats us respectfully.

Cons

I see a great need for 24 hour tech support which is now available for most other apps that I use. When my client has a technical issue it is frustrating not to get assistance immediately and I think it makes the company look bad to the clients.

Pros

Very flexible schedule (you create your own), can easily cancel classes without too much of a penalty (make every student that you like a "regular" student so that if you get penalized...only regulars can book you...you have a huge pool of regulars), Cambly provides lessons, you can use almost any website as long as you don't need to share login information, it's fun and easy, many students become like friends, you can learn about different countries, cultures, and languages

Cons

The pay. It has never increased in the 14 years that Cambly has been in business. They are starting to offer a new program called "Cambly Pro" where you can make $15 an hour, but you have to apply to be a tutor for it and you could be denied. You have to have a 99% rating for 3 months to even be considered. If, like me, you are open to all students (and not just your regular students that you have become friends with), your rating can vary widely. No matter how good of a tutor you are, you will not be everyone's cup of tea. Also, Cambly does not allow tutors to teach in some states in the U.S. due to labor laws.
